Chapter 319 Zhao Meili wants what she wants but cannot get
At two o'clock in the afternoon, there was not much business in the store. Zhao Meili asked the clerk to watch the store. She went out to buy some snacks that children like to eat and went out. At
Qi's house, Qi's mother was taking her granddaughter Qi Xiaotong to take a nap. When she heard the knock on the door, she got up impatiently.
Seeing that it was Zhao Meili, she said, "Why are you here again? My son doesn't like you. Don't come next time."
Zhao Meili looked sad: "Auntie, I just want to make up for it."
Qi's mother said: "You didn't mean to do that. It can only be said that fate is playing tricks on people."
Zhao Meili handed the snacks in her hand to Qi's mother: "This is the snack I bought for Xiaotong. Xiaotong is 5 years old this year, right? It's time to go to school next year."
Qi's mother said that she didn't want her things, but Zhao Meili forced them into her hands.
"Yusheng said that the child would just play at home, so we'll send her to school this year."
"Then I'll buy some stationery for the child next time I come."
"You'd better not spend money. If Yusheng knew, these things will eventually be thrown away."
"It's okay if you don't say it. I don't mean anything else. I just want to buy something for the child. This will make me feel better."
After Zhao Meili left, Qi's mother saw that her granddaughter had woken up and was sitting on the bed.
Qi Xiaotong asked, "Did Aunt Zhao send me something again?"
Mother Qi handed the snacks in her hand to her granddaughter: "They are all your favorites, Xiaotong, what do you think of Aunt Zhao?"
"She is very good."
The Qi family and the Bai family did not want Qi Xiaotong to plant the seeds of hatred at a young age, and explained to her that her mother's death had nothing to do with Zhao Meili.
Therefore, Zhao Meili sent things to Qi Xiaotong every now and then, and Qi Xiaotong no longer had hostility towards Zhao Meili.
Mother Qi asked, "If she keeps buying you delicious food and beautiful clothes in the future, will you be willing to live with her?"
Qi Xiaotong looked at her grandmother in confusion: "I don't know, I listen to my father."
Mother Qi felt very distressed when she saw her son living in pain and self-blame every day.
She only has this one son, and she doesn't want him to always live in the memories of the past.
So, Qi's mother took her granddaughter to discuss with her mother-in-law.
...
Bai's mother often came to visit her granddaughter, and she also knew that Zhao Meili often bought food and clothes for her granddaughter.
At first, they hated Zhao Meili, but as time went by, they realized that it was not her fault.
Qi's mother brought her child to her and said that Zhao Meili came to give things to her granddaughter again, and Bai's mother understood what she meant.
The son-in-law is still young and has a good job. He only has one daughter, and sooner or later he will remarry.
Instead of looking for a stepmother who may not treat her granddaughter well, it is better to choose Zhao Meili who feels guilty about her daughter.
Bai's mother said that she would not object to her son-in-law remarrying, and if the stepmother did not want Xiaotong, they could take the child over.
Qi's mother said, "Yusheng would rather not marry, and he will not let Xiaotong down, so you can rest assured."
Then she said with difficulty, "Yusheng is unwilling to marry again, and plans to stay with Xiaotong for the rest of his life. He is the only son in the family... He listens to you, so you might as well persuade him."
Bai's mother thought about it and agreed to go to Qi's house and have a good talk with Qi Yusheng.
...
When Qi Yusheng came home from work and saw his mother-in-law at home, he immediately went out to buy food to entertain her.
Bai's mother called him: "Yusheng, stop working, I'll just say a few words and then leave."
"Mom, just tell me what's the matter, I'm listening."
Thinking of her daughter, Bai's mother couldn't help feeling sad, but she still had to mention it, so she said to Qi Yusheng: "Yingying has been gone for some time, and you should resume your normal life."
Qi Yusheng said: "I have been living a normal life and have never shown bad emotions in front of Xiaotong."
"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that you should start your new life. Have you ever thought about finding another mother for Xiaotong?"
"Mom, Xiaotong only has one mother, and Yingying is in another world. We will always be a family of three, and I will accompany her as she grows up instead of Yingying."
Bai's mother was very moved by her son-in-law's infatuation with her daughter, but thinking of her mother-in-law's request, she couldn't help but mention it.
"I believe you will take good care of Xiaotong, but it will be inconvenient for you to take care of her when Xiaotong grows up. I heard from your mother that Zhao Meili is very good to Xiaotong. You might as well consider her."
Qi Yusheng immediately got angry when he heard about Zhao Meili.
"Mom, do you think my life is not painful enough? Yingying passed away, and I already feel very guilty. Do you still want me to look at Zhao Meili every day to remind me of the mistakes I made?"
"It's not your fault, it's Yingying who is not blessed."
Speaking of his deceased wife, Qi Yusheng was grief-stricken: "Mom, Yingying is my only wife, can't I stay with her for the rest of my life?"
Seeing her son-in-law's firm attitude, Bai's mother was relieved and sad.
She said the words and persuaded him, and it was his business whether the son-in-law listened or not.
Finally, after persuading her to no avail, Bai's mother said to Qi's mother: "Let it go, don't force him, he won't be able to get over it for a while."
...
When Zhao Meili came to visit Qi Xiaotong again, Qi's mother seemed to mention that her mother-in-law didn't object to her son marrying again, but her son had no plans to marry again for the time being.
"We can't influence Yu Sheng's thoughts, so let's just ignore it."
Qi's mother meant to make Zhao Meili give up, but Zhao Meili seemed to see hope.
Since both old people didn't object, she just had to work harder and it would be done.
When she thought about having a man who was devoted to her in the future, Zhao Meili was full of yearning for the future.
...
On the weekend, Zhao Meili came to Qi's house with new children's clothing.
Qi Yusheng frowned when he saw her: "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Meili said cautiously: "I just came to see Xiaotong. I heard that you are going to let her go to elementary school this year, so I want to give her some stationery and new clothes."
Qi Yusheng said rudely, "I can afford the stationery and clothes. Goodbye!" Then he closed the door in front of Zhao Meili.
Zhao Meili, who was turned away, saw that Qi Yusheng still disliked her so much, and returned to the clothing store with a lot of grievances.
Tian Liping passed by the clothing store after selling buns. She made a lot of money recently and wanted to buy herself a set of clothes to reward herself.
Zhao Meili looked at Tian Liping's rosy face and high spirits, and asked her if she was happy.
Tian Liping said happily, "Without the troubles at home to bother me, my mood is naturally better. I really hope that such days will continue, then I will be satisfied."
Tian Liping lived the life she wanted, and it was getting better and better, but she couldn't get it.
Zhao Meili looked at Tian Liping who was happily trying on clothes and felt that it was an eyesore.
